三峡库区巴东新城区库岸三叠系巴东组层间软弱带

摘要 巴东新城区发育有黄土坡滑坡、赵树岭滑坡、太矶头滑坡、童家坪滑坡等多处大型古滑坡,研究库岸斜坡岩体结构特征对滑坡的治理有着至关重要的作用。本文基于巴东新城区白土坡和西壤坡两段库岸深300余米监测剖面的地质勘探资料,根据岩芯颜色、岩性和结构将巴东组第三段划分为24段;通过薄片鉴定、X射线衍射和岩芯精细测量分析库岸斜坡岩体处于滨海环境的海陆过渡相,岩性组合、岩层厚度、矿物组成及强度具有复杂的垂向分带特征;探讨了层间软弱带和大型滑坡的关系。研究表明:巴东新城区库岸斜坡巴东组第三段内发育有13层贯通的软弱带,表现为为富含泥质、结构破碎的泥质软弱夹层、构造碎裂岩、溶蚀改造带和软岩软弱带。在沉积成岩时经历了滨海相反复的海浸海退,软弱带多分布在沉积环境动荡的开阔台地（陆棚泻湖）和局限台地（潮间带）。巴东组第二、三段岩性及沉积环境属缓慢过渡,在构造作用下未发生明显的滑脱。沉积结构和后期构造共同作用形成了贯通软弱带,为大型滑坡发生提供了有利条件。三峡水库全面蓄水后,软弱带在地下水长期作用下必将加剧库岸斜坡的深部形变。     

A 2D MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR THE BED DEFORMATION IN THE LOWER YELLOW RIVER

1 BANK EROSION IN THE LOWER YELLOW RIVER In alluvial rivers, riverbeds are always in a state of transition and development. Two kinds of deformations result for the fluvial process according to certain basic characteristics. One is longitudinal deformation that is characterized by the deformation of a riverbed in the direction of streamwise flow such as riverbed scour or deposition. The other is transverse or lateral deformation that is distinguished by the deformation of a riverb…     

The Asian Development Bank and the production of poverty: Neoliberalism,technocratic modernization and land dispossession in the Greater Mekong Subregion

In 1992 the Asian Development Bank coordinated a meeting between government representatives from China, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam to discuss regional economic integration. From that meeting the Greater Mekong Subregion was formed to promote peace and prosperity within the Mekong countries. Yet, despite more than more than USD 14 billion being spent on facilitating trade, development and infrastructural ties between these nations, poverty remains widespread. This article provides a critical analysis of the Asian Development Bank and its approach to development and poverty alleviation within the Greater Mekong Subregion. It suggests that the institution's technocratic neoliberal development ideology provides a discursive legitimation to processes of displacement and dispossession that has seen the production of new forms of poverty. To make this argument, the article draws on an ethnographic study of the local‐scale implications of forced resettlement at the Luang Prabang Airport. It conducts an analysis of how the Asian Development Bank defines and measures poverty, and critiques the institution's resettlement guidelines for the airport project.     

Riverine dominance of a nearshore marine demersal food web: evidence from stable isotope and C/N ratio analysis

The Thukela Bank, KwaZulu-Natal, supports a diverse ecosystem and South Africa’s only prawn fishery. Oceanographic studies suggest riverine input is not important for the biology of this system, whereas biological studies suggest the contrary, with prawn catches increasing with increased fluvial run-off. The aim of this study was to determine (i) the importance of riverine and marine organic matter for the Thukela Bank food web; and (ii) whether there are seasonal changes in the Thukela River stable isotope values, and, if so, whether these are reflected in the isotope values of demersal organisms. Estuarine organic matter, sediments and demersal organisms were collected from several sites across the bank in the wet and dry seasons of 2008, 2009 and 2010. Marine particulate organic matter was also collected in 2010 and analysed for δ13C and δ15N, as well as C/N ratios. There were strong seasonal changes in isotopic values of organic matter and fauna, especially faunal δ13C. There was an apparent time-lag in organisms assimilating riverine organic matter isotopic values, with the isotopic signature of demersal organisms reflecting that of riverine organic matter from the previous season, which is likely the result of tissue turnover time. In 2010, Thukela Bank sediment organic matter was of riverine origin and this maintained the demersal food web. We conclude that Thukela River organic matter is an important input to the food web of the Thukela Bank, indicating that any future damming of the catchment area could have serious consequences for this ecosystem.     

中沙地块南部断裂发育特征及其成因机制

利用最新多道地震剖面资料,结合重力、磁力、地形等地球物理资料,揭示了中沙地块南部断裂空间展布特征、断裂发育时期、断裂内部构造形变特征及深部地壳结构,并基于认识探讨了断裂的发育机制。研究结果认为,中沙地块南部陆缘构造属性为非火山型被动大陆边缘：地壳性质从西北向东南由减薄陆壳向洋陆过渡壳再向正常洋壳发育变化;Moho面埋深从中沙地块下方的26 km快速抬升到海盆的10~12 km;从中沙地块陡坡至其前缘海域的重力异常明显负异常区为洋陆过渡带,在重力由高值负异常上升到海盆的低值正、负异常的边界为洋陆边界。中沙地块南部发育有4组阶梯状向海倾的深大正断裂,主要发育时期为晚渐新世到中中新世。断裂早期发育与南海东部次海盆近NS向扩张有关,后期遭受挤压变形、与菲律宾海板块向南海的NWW向仰冲有关。该研究有助于更好认识南海海盆的扩张历史和南海被动大陆边缘的类型。     

SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF WORLD BANK/IMF-FUNDED ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING IN BOLIVIA: AN ANALYSIS OF ENRON AND SHELL'S HYDROCARBONS PROJECTS

With the spectacular financial collapse of Enron in 2001, Enron and Shell's Rio San Miguel‐Cuiabá gas pipeline gained international notoriety for degrading the last, most intact dry tropical forest in the world, Bolivia's Chiquitano forest. The paper uses specific case studies, including the case of the Cuiabá pipeline, to examine how economic restructuring sponsored by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Inter‐American Development Bank (IDB) facilitated the entrance of multinational oil corporations that have caused significant social and environmental impacts in Bolivia. The paper explores the influence of international financial institutions and multinational oil corporations on Bolivian state institutions, particularly their ability to regulate and address impacts caused by developments in the hydrocarbons sector. It concludes that neoliberal policies, which resulted in partial privatisation of the state oil company and in expanded control over natural resources by multinational corporations (MNCs), were detrimental to sensitive ecosystems and indigenous inhabitants.     

成像测井在台缘斜坡礁滩微相研究中的应用——以土库曼斯坦阿姆河右岸中部卡洛夫阶—牛津阶为例

以成像测井资料为基础,开展了土库曼斯坦阿姆河右岸中部的中上侏罗统卡洛夫阶—牛津阶台缘斜坡礁滩沉积微相研究。首先利用岩心、薄片等资料对成像测井进行标定,在成像测井上识别出障积礁、粘结丘、高能生物碎屑滩、低能生物碎屑滩、低能砂屑滩、礁(滩)间和斜坡泥等7种沉积微相。然后通过对不同类型沉积微相的成像测井响应特征进行研究,建立了研究区碳酸盐岩成像测井相模式,主要包括亮斑相、暗斑相、低阻交错层状相、低阻变形层状相、互层相、块状相等6类,并以此为依据进行了连续的单井成像测井相划分与沉积微相解释。最后对沉积微相与储层物性关系进行了研究,认为研究区卡洛夫阶—牛津阶储层主要为裂缝-孔隙型礁滩储层,有利于储层发育的沉积微相主要为高能生物碎屑滩、低能砂屑滩、障积礁、低能生物碎屑滩和粘结丘,礁(滩)间和斜坡泥微相的岩性相对较致密,储层一般不发育。     

穿越南沙礼乐滩的海底地震仪广角地震试验

本文对穿越礼乐滩东北部向西北方向延伸进入中央海盆长369 km的广角地震剖面OBS973-2进行了反演研究,以期了解南海南部陆缘的地壳结构,同时探讨南、北陆缘的共轭问题.结果表明OBS973-2剖面的速度模型中三个沉积层的速度分别为1.8~2.0 km/s、2.0~2.7 km/s和3.5~4.0 km/s;沿剖面沉积层总体上较薄或缺失.礼乐滩上地壳厚约9~10 km , 速度为5.5~6.4 km/s,顶部存在小型火山;下地壳厚约11 km,速度为6.6~7.1 km/s. 过渡区和海盆的上地壳厚约4~5 km,速度为5.9~6.1 km/s;下地壳厚约2~4 km,速度为6.6~6.9 km/s.从总体上看,海盆和过渡区的地壳厚度偏小,显示了拉伸减薄作用,速度分层显示陆壳比较典型,而洋壳和过渡壳的上地壳速度比标准洋壳偏高.莫霍面总体从陆坡向海盆方向较快速地抬升,在礼乐滩埋深约23 km, 在海盆中的埋深8~12 km,海盆中的莫霍面顶部速度8.0 km/s,要明显小于礼乐滩下方的8.2 km/s.将OBS973-2剖面与北部陆缘的OBS2006-1剖面进行了对比,结果表明两者速度结构极为类似,讨论认为礼乐滩与中沙块体互为共轭.进而根据西北次海盆的宽度、礼乐滩与中沙块体的距离及前人提出的南海海盆的扩张时代,计算了扩张速率.     

Morphological responses in a meandering and island-braided reach of the Middle Yangtze River to the Three Gorges Reservoir impoundment

Lateral migration is an important form of morphological changes on the Middle Yangtze River (MYR), particularly for the lower Jingjiang reach. The Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) has substantially reduced sediment supply to the downstream river channels since its impoundment in June 2003. The scientific understanding of how decrease of sediment influences the processes of bank erosion and channel adjustments is complex and limited. In the present paper, the morphological responses in a typical meandering and island-braided river segment of the MYR to the filling of the TGR were investigated by a 3-D morphodynamic model. The potential of the 3-D model has been demonstrated by the observed data. The morphological evolutions in the Shishou bend during the first 12 years of the TGR impound-ment were predicted. The effects of the TGR operation on the planform evolutions in the study reach were analyzed based on the simulated results. Sediment load is decreased by 75%due to the early filling of the TGR. The magnitude of bed degradation with less sediment load due to the TGR operation is increased compared with the pre-dam situation. Qualitatively, the overall planform evolution trends in the Shishou bend after the TGR operation are similar to that without the TGR operation. The magnitude of lateral migration has been increased in some part of the channel bend, where the morphological response of the TGR operation exhibits more lateral migration rather than vertical degradation. Scouring at the bank toe enhances bank failure. Decrease of sediment load and weak bank anti-scour ability as well as the significant helical flow can be responsible for intensified bank erosion in the channel bend.
